Another set of discs fitted

Subaru brake disc fitting time has arrived yet again,

This is the second re-fit of new brake discs since the car new, this time however they aint genuine Subaru discs, they're made in Kent.

Subaru replaced the discs only 2 years ago under the terms of their warranty as the originals were badly rusted, since they fitted the replacements I've only covered 2,000 miles in the car.
I took the discs off yesterday and the corrosion was so bad on the inner surfaces I estimate the front brakes had lost 35% of their efficiency, I'm taking pics of the discs and posting them to Subaru UK in London, it's time they used better metal during the manufacturing process, I've had a lot of cars in my day but I've never seen anything like this, it's disgraceful.
The replacements I got were half the price of Subaru's ones, so I'm off just now to insert the corroded ones in the manager who runs our local dealership, I think they'll wedge nicely in his a$$.
